Rafael Nadal Advances to French Open Final on Alexander Zverev Injury

Rafael Nadal will have a chance to play for his 14th French Open title on Sunday. Unfortunately, he advanced due to an Alexander Zverev injury in the second set.

The Spaniard led 40–30 in the game as Zverev led the second set 6–5. Nadal was trying to push the match into its second tiebreak. However, on that final point, Zverev slipped on the clay court and fell down yelling in pain.

He held his right ankle and rolled around in the clay until his trainer came on the court. Nadal came to his side to see if he could be of assistance.
